Does anyone else think its laugable the Bears are biggest favorite on the board?

[jgray]

-6.5 to -7 right now.

I'm not making a pick or a play here but the irony of this Bears team being the largest favorite on the board strikes me as odd to say the least. It must say something about the perception of the Lions. It can't be love/respect of the Bears, can it?

***The Giants are a close second (juice is slightly less).

[gravy]

I like the Giants more than I would the Bears this week thats for sure

[nobs]

Yeah and I actually think the Lions are going to win

[tim0402]

bears on all my survivor pools

[rm18]

i like a lot of smaller favs a lot more, Saints, Jets, Pats, Jags, Cards

[Brock Landers]

Bears are barely the 3rd best team in the division

[pavyracer]

Lions are a live dog. Out of the three +7 (Panthers, Raiders, Lions) they have the best chance of an outright win.

Honestly, nothing in this game would surprise me. There is such a negative cloud over the Bears here in Chicago that if they lose it become the embodiment of all the negative shit. But Lovie and co. have a way of doing the unexpected. The Sunday night game against Minnesota last year comes to mind as one of those games.

Edit.

[flyingillini]

Bears cover the game.

[Illusion]

I believe the line opened at 7, but it's still a joke. I am a huge Bears fan and everybody here (meaning the Chicago area) thinks that spread is crazy. Since I like fading the general public, Chicago will be atleast a 5 unit play.

[flyingillini]

I am heavy on the Bears, that is my team. I bet them every weekend. God Bless you Illusion!

[jnickell100]

Why bet this game in the first place? nobody knows how the bears offense is gonna play out with cutler and martz. They certainly have not showed anything in the preseason and the lions........well they are the lions.

[Deuce]

Lions ML

[Goat Milk]

The Lions will cover the 7

[jedikarl]

bears will win the game they are playing a team that has won 2 in 32 and hasnt won on the road for wat seems like forever .
dont get carried away with their pre season form last year they won all 4 pre season games last year and were just as crap as ever whilst they are making inroads and are improving its no way enough to beat the bears but bol of all of you whatever you choose

[Mr Windy City]

Lions ML

that's a losing wager, Deuce.

[stealthyburrito]

love lions and the points here.

[Goat Milk]

that's a losing wager, Deuce.

The bears are not good. The lions will have a better record this year than the bears.

[jnickell100]

neither are the lions. You dont know which team is going to show up for either side.

[FLO31]

love lions and the points here.

this... megatron will go nuts.. and cutler and those bears wr's have not shown anything, i don't care if martz is the offensive coordinator... until they show me something i'm not buying it...

[jon13009]

I don't think this game is a good one to play. Too early to see where the teams stand, and the Lions may actually be decent this year.

[KingsKourt]

The Lions will score points this year. And I don't trust the Bears.

[Gemoka]

I would sooner cough blood then bet on the Lions

[beanbag]

bears got this!

[jjgold]

Bears QB is why they will never win, he is one of worst in league.

[HauntingTheHoly]

Lions are a live dog. Out of the three +7 (Panthers, Raiders, Lions) they have the best chance of an outright win.

Actually all three of those teams are gonna win. POUND THE **** OUT OF 'EM!

[icancount2one]

I guess the best teams are on the road or all playing each other. No slam-dunk Indy/Cleveland type games.

[slacker00]

Lions +260 (ML). It's not that I don't like the Bears, it's the matchups. Plus, the Lions will pull some real shockers this year.

[Emily_Haines]

they sure did look like crap in the pre season

[d2bets]

Just a quirk with a lot of close matchups and a lot of the better teams on the road. There are 8 road favorites. That is very unusual itself. And I can't remember a time when there were no faves by more than 7.
